Everton Match Sunday ESPN 12:00

everdead.ie

So at the moment things don't look good we have Corluka and palacios down with a bug Defoe has tweaked his hamstring and Bently seems to of picked up a knock against Bolton and we also have Jenas out with a pelvis injury King out. Lennon woodgate and Cudicini long term absentees.

I hope that Corluka and Palacios will be over this bug come Sunday.

Hopefully we'll have

---

Gomes

---

Corluka--Dawson--Bassong--Bale
Bently/Rose--Palacios--Hudd--Modric

---

Pav--Gudjohnsen

This is must win if we want to get fourth but to be honest they all are at this stage

We'll need to be on top of our game for this match as Everton have really started to show great form recently.

Indeed we will, this is a major test. Need everyone on form from the off, 1st goal will be huge.

Jodikelly

Hopefully Everton will be more than bit tired after there game in Lisbon tonight and all the traveling they have to do.I'm hoping for a 2-0 win here.:)

News from the training facility is not good......."the club have since been forced to close their training ground facilities, with only the pitches used for training, due to the virus that hit earlier in the week"

http://www.skysports.com/football/match_preview/0,19764,11065_3222268,00.html

Still don't know which players have been hit with the virus, so will be concerned to see who Harry picks for Sunday.

Hatch99

Harry Redknapp will monitor the fitness of strikers Jermain Defoe and Peter Crouch as he prepares the squad for Everton on Sunday.

‘JD' left the action at half-time in Wednesday night's FA Cup replay win against Bolton with a tight hamstring while ‘Crouchy' was unavailable for that game because of a foot injury.

"We're not sure on those two at the moment," reported Harry on Friday. "We've got training today and Saturday morning and we'll wait to see how they are then."

David Bentley also departed Wednesday's action early but the midfielder is available for Sunday. "He had a tight groin but he came off only as a precaution," explained Harry. "He will be okay."

Ledley King (thigh), Jermaine Jenas (groin) and Aaron Lennon (groin) remain sidelined. "Aaron has been to see another specialist and we're hoping with rest and strengthening he'll be back as soon as we can get him fit," said Harry.

Vedran Corluka missed Bolton through illness and Wilson Palacios came off in the second half after feeling the effects of a virus. Vedran trained on Friday and it is hoped both will be in the frame for Everton on Sunday.

On the virus, Harry said: "It hasn't disrupted us, we are still training as normal."

At least Charlie's feeling better BAE could fill in in an emergency but his delivery isn't good enough from the right.

ruiseal

Tomorrow's game against Everton really is a must win game now after City beating Chelski 4-2 at the Bridge today. We're back to 5th again, three points behind City, although our goal difference is 5 better than theirs.

i wouldnt worry about benoit playing at right back at all. charlie has no delivery at all and has been the fault for a few goals recently. birmingham, cant think of the other one

Scrappy goal to give away.

Come on Spurs please don't do a repeat of when we threw away the 2 goal lead at goodison.

Modric. So many passes we just dominated their penalty area and Modric rocketed a lob in.

RichMc70

WTF 6 minutes of additional time.

What game are the officials watching?

Ah sounds sweet cant wait for match of the day now once we dont conceed another p0xy late equaliser

RichMc70

Nail biting stuff there at the end but relieved we managed to hang on.

Good goal from Modric. Shame we couldn't have repeated the first half form in the second period. Losing Hudd in the second half definitely made a big difference to our midfield.

Still, back up to fourth position, so happy days again.

Thank feck for that:cool:

everdead.ie

We weren't given much chance to play in the second half they just fouled the player on the break every time and allowed themselves time to organise at the back

Hatch99

Big 3 points seeing as city won and liverpool will win. Great goal by Modric.

Since when has Kaboul become a central midfielder, crazy decision by harry, looked lost when he came on. Surely Gudjohnsen would have been a far better replacement.

Anyway, onwards and upwards....

tippspur

That was a nerve wrecking finish,thank God we held out.Gareth Bale was class today, going forward and defending.

I think that's what is know as "a good foul"

Everton fan here... First half Everton weren't at the races and Spurs deserved to be in the lead. Second half, Everton's pressure started to show and Spurs couldn't get on the ball. If Everton had shown up in the first half it would have been a different result i feel.. Donavon had such a good chance to get the draw... The lisbon game definitely showed on the everton legs alright..

There the joys of away europa games on a thursday night, we know all about them.

x in the city

If Everton realised it was a 1pm ko, we could have got at least a draw. cant argue on the result as we were non existent in the first half

Anyone else think O'Hara could get a call back this week?

That's a possibility,Hudd could be out for a while.

ziedth

It would be no harm to have him IMO.

mickman

great win today. the first half was mesmerising stuff. we played like they werent even there. top class stuff. we had no CM on the bench so had no cover for hudd. they opened us up when hudd went off, shows how important he is to us. two more great saves from gomes, he had earned us plenty points this season. corluka at fault yet again for their goal, didnt even bother to jump with their man, he has to be dropped IMO

bale was world class today, just world class. modric and niko were great also. a great win against a very good side who have just beaten united and chelsea so heads up people

Would seriously doubt it. One of the croats can play in the middle and so could eidur.

Great win, it's always good to beat them Toffees.

Hopefully Huddlestone's not out for long as we'll struggle without him. Jenas or Kaboul are not the answer... :eek:

Another very tough game next weekend at Fulham in the Cup and then away to the Mancs.

Ah ok, think we were supposed to be away to City next week but it has been postponed due to the FA Cup game.

Isn't the City game to be played on the Tuesday between the Fulham and Blackburn games?

If he does, hope he isn't given the job of taking penalties!

same old story on sunday. the ball was like a lump of grease, gomes dropped it twice as it was impossible not to and the commentators are back to "gomes is dropping it again". what apes they are

agree with you Mick. I was over at the game and it was p**sing down all morning. The ball was zipping everywhere.

Real game of two halves, we just didnt come back out. I dont think Everton were actually that good we were just bad. As the half went on we dropped deeper and deeper (obv Hudd replaced by Kaboul was going to have that effect.)

I was sitting in the first row of park lane upr so had a great view of all the goals and for their one I couldnt believe there was no one there just to swing a boot at it. Very soft. Good win for us though.

mickman

good stuff mullo. was actually a great game to be at id say except for the weather

when hudd went of we fell apart, we will really miss him.

iv checked the spurs website, the city site and bbc sport, none of them have the fixture at all! No idea when it is so.

slegs

Long time Spurs fan but only just found this forum. Going over for the Blackburn game with my 8 year old who is over for his first trip. Really looking forward to it.

Assuming we can get a couple of wins out of the Blackburn, Stoke, Portsmouth games our fourth place challenge will come down to how we do at home to Arsenal and Chelsea back to back and the City game away. Exciting times after many years of let down.

kakee

Its about time we played bad and won. How many times have we played teams off the park and drew or lost. At this stage of the season any win will do. Good to see Pav showing a glimpse of why he was bought in the first place. Is he playing for a Spurs place or a big money move away?

Looks like things are going well in our "Academy."

hey boys i was away for a bit and missed the game/goals but was getting texts n that to keep me up to scratch. any one got a link to highlights or anything???

everdead.ie

http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/4910362/

try this also it doesn't show in the highlights but palacios scored Howard legged it out of his area to clear the ball and Palacios knocked ot back down and as it was in mid air the final whistle went and then the ball dropped neatly into the net feel bad for him to be honest
